Windows 7 RC1 General Release

Postby Zancarius » Tue May 05, 2009 10:10 am

If you're interested in trying out the Windows 7 release candidate (I think this is build 7100; the one earlier this year was 7000), go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/window ... nload.aspx

They're not limiting the number of product keys available for general download, so you have about two months to grab a copy. Something noteworthy to mention about the RC and its expiration:

Watch the calendar. The RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. You’ll also need to install the programs and data that you want to use. (Learn more about installing Windows.)

Windows will shut down every two hours? Hmm, sounds like Vista pre-SP1.
Letting the demon do the work for me since 2004.

Yeah, come March 2010, Win 7 enters "Vista compatibility mode." :)

And this whole time I thought the Mayan 2012 calendar issue was just an integer overflow. Now I KNOW it's an integer overflow.

Wow, that's geeky.
